Anyone know of a cute little place to stay that has reasonable rates and allows pets in Big Bear California? We are going on a long trip, visiting lots of family and my son and two of his friends want to stop off at Big Bear and go snowboarding . We are looking for a cute little cabin style place to hang out and relax, while they do so. The closer to the ski resort, the better! Thanks! Remember..cute and pets..

I am trying to plan to go snowboarding during spring break of this year, 2010. Every time I’ve been snowboarding, it’s been at Maggie Valley, NC (not very good at all) and Big Bear, CA (the best I’ve been to, obviously. Being that I am from Atlanta, I’m not a very experienced boarder, so I’ve been looking for resorts with a variety of skill level runs. I really don’t mind flying, but if it is a day drive or less from atlanta, that would be a great money saver.
If anybody knows of a great, inexpensive ski resort that runs during spring break and is open to most all skill levels (beginner +), please answer.
Thanks so much!
I don’t know of any within a day’s drive of Atlanta, but I can tell you about quite a few that you can fly to that have big Spring Break specials. First would be to fly to Reno, NV. From there, you can get to a ton of resorts within an hour of driving: Heavenly, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Sierra at Tahoe, Kirkwood, etc. Heavenly especially hosts a lot of college kids over the Spring Break week and has a lot of deals. The south end of Lake Tahoe (where Heavenly is located) has a number of casinos, hotels, and nightlife to keep you busy after the slopes close for the day.
The second would be to fly to Denver, CO. From there you can get to Winter Park,Vail, Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, etc., with 2 to 4 hours of driving. Its been a few years since I was there, but I seem to remember Breck getting pretty packed during Spring Break. Its got a fun little town right there, so you’ll have plenty to do off the slopes.
The last one I can think of is to fly to Salt Lake City, UT. You’ve got Snowbird and Alta about 30 mins away, and Park City and Deer Valley within a few hours. Snowbird & Alta are terrific mountains, but you’ll need a car to get into town. Park City and Deer Valley are right next door to each other, and their both smack in the middle of town (Park City). Its got plenty of bars, shops, restuarants, and all that other good stuff.
Bottom line, you can’t go wrong with any of those three places. I’d shop around for the best deal and go there.
